This is what the Bricks Structure panel shows after you paste the template. Component instances say which component they are.

The template also pastes a dashed note above the section, with the short version of this page. It only shows inside the builder, never on the published page — see Builder notes.

How to adjust

Every step is the same move: pick the element in the Structure panel, change its Properties.

Where are those panels?

How to adjust a template shows every one of them in a screenshot of the real builder: the Structure and Properties panels, the classes on an element, a component's style families and the field where a CSS variable goes.

The classes this element carries, in the Bricks panel.

This template's own component, with its Style group open.

1. Paste the template in Bricks first — see Copy and paste.
2. Select Intro (FBK Intro) › Properties: Eyebrow, Hide eyebrow, Title, Title level, Lead, Hide lead · Style group: Eyebrow style, Highlight, Title size, Accent line · Layout group: Alignment, Layout, Background, Spacing · Motion group: Reveal in slider.
3. Select Button · Primary, Button · Secondary (FBK Button) › Properties: Text, Link, Tone, Shadow on hover · Icon group: Icon, Icon position · Style group: Style, Size, Width, Hover effect.
4. Select Card · Photo (FBK Card) › Properties: Title, Title level, Text, Hide text · Style group: Highlight, Title size, Look, Tone, Shape, Photo overlay, Padding, Photo hover, Background · Layout group: HTML tag, Layout.
5. Select Icon item · Time tracked as you work, Icon item · Feedback on the page, Icon item · Private by default (+1 more) (FBK Icon item) › Properties: Icon, Title, Title tag, Text · Show or hide group: Hide icon, Hide text · Style group: Layout, Look, Tone, Shape, Size, Alignment, HTML tag, Background.
6. Spacing, sizes, color and timing with no property of their own: the CSS variables below.

CSS variables

These are the only values in the template meant to be changed by hand. Copy the block, paste it, edit the numbers.

The Custom CSS field of this template's own element, with one of its variables as a real example.

/* «Bento grid» · class .fbk-bento */
.fbk-bento {
  /* Height of the large photo tile (it grows with the tiles beside it) */
  --fbk-t-photo-min: 26em;
  /* Photo zoom on hover: a photo's pace, 1.5 x the library's hover time */
  --fbk-t-zoom-time: calc(var(--fbk-hover) * 1.5);
}

Paste the block in the element's Style → CSS field (the selector is already in it), or set the same variables on the class itself to change every copy at once. The values are your framework's variables, so they follow your site: Choosing a framework.

Finish by hand

• Tile sizes are classes on each tile (li): .fbk-bento__tile--large (two columns by two rows) and .fbk-bento__tile--wide (two columns). Move them to another tile, or add tiles: the grid places them by itself.
• The small tiles are FBK Icon item (Boxed); the wide one is Boxed inline with the Brand scheme; the large one is an FBK Card with Photo overlay on. Its photo is decoration (no alt text): the title says what it is.
• Hover: none in the demo, because the tiles have no link. Add a link or a button to a tile and it rises a little (class .fbk-cardfx-lift on the grid); the large photo also comes closer (class .fbk-bento--zoom, Style > CSS: %root% .fbk-card:has(a[href], button):hover .fbk-card__media). Remove either class for still tiles.

On phones

The template is designed desktop first, the Bricks default, and only changes at the two widths the library uses:

• 991px and below — .fbk-bento, .fbk-bento__tile--large, .fbk-intro.
• 767px and below — .fbk-bento, .fbk-bento__tile--large, .fbk-bento__tile--wide, .fbk-section.

Those changes live in Bricks' own breakpoint fields, so you edit them where you always do: pick the breakpoint in the toolbar and the same fields follow.

Careful with the classes shared by the whole library (fbk-section, fbk-intro, the component classes): a change there shows up in every template that uses them.

If your site's breakpoints are set up mobile first, copy the mobile-first variant of the template instead — see Copy and paste.

Accessibility

In this template, keyboard focus is visible on every interactive piece; movement is cut back when the visitor's system asks for less motion; the state screen readers need is already set (aria-hidden).

What is checked on every template, and what depends on your own palette: Accessibility.

Dark mode

With your site in dark mode this section turns dark too — the class fbk-section--auto-dark on the section does it. Remove the class to keep it light.

Its background is a modifier on the section, so you can swap it for any of the ones the template is checked with: fbk-section--soft, fbk-section--light, fbk-section--dark.
